Don’t read it if you’re just tired of the constant drone of ugly misogyny everywhere, or just don’t want to be reminded of that familiar condition. I will highlight the summary she selected for her post:

If you EVER harass me you WILL be published on the blog, twitter, facebook and whatever media I have. I don’t back down, I don’t back of. And I’m sure my friends won’t either. And girl, if you have ANY problems with ANYBODY – please reach out to me. Now

I don’t even know how I’d react to that kind of harassment. I certainly wouldn’t have the wherewithal to post a detailed description on my blog. Iris seems pretty awesome.

It’s the sort of awesome shown by Iris, Rebecca Watson and others which is the only thing that is actually going to work. It’s the one response which might have a chance of making these clowns realize that such behaviour is going to result in social marginalization. For that to effectively work, people are going to have to take the Network* way of doing.

Sweden has stopped being anything to look to these days. We’ve got fascists on the rise (and pointing out that party functionaries calls women “whores” and immigrants “baboons”(yes, you fucknuts, it’s also a racist slur) seems to give them more support), more and more people seems to parrot MRA talking points daily and the only consolation is that they don’t seem to get as much purchase for the homophobic bit of their platform. It’s pretty fucking dismal.

This. Thank you, Iris and Rebecca Watson, Jen and Greta, and all the other women who stand up and fight back. But I am also thankful for people like Caine and Audley who help show the way in their own voices and styles.

There was a reason Stieg Larsson wrote a book entitled Men Who Hate Women. I’m sure Sweden, like most places, is far from perfect, and has its share of complete shits without whom the planet would be far better off.
